Dive To Survive Scuba

Well I took my deep water class with Dwayne Reyes from this dive shop and my girl at the time. I have a hard time believing this shop only has three reviews… This guy Great! He puts a little laughter and Comedy into this great sport and you can’t not help to like Dwayne. Like most small little dive shop like this it’s not his full time job and he does it because he loves it so much and what better to get lesson from someone that loves his hobby?. He been doing it for a long time as I been diving for over 20 years and most of that time not being certified:/. I was head strong and always saying I don’t need a card to tell me I can dive or not but when you go to other countries it helps lol. Anyhow take my word try to take your open water with dive to survive !! Great people and he a one stop shop and he give great deals on gear! Do remember it’s a very little hole in the wall but makes up with it with his joy of teaching and don’t freak out he not new to the sport and he won’t fail you!!! It’s not hard to become a diver !!

I’m a little late in writing this, but I was certified for open water about a year or so ago through Dive to Survive. The price was affordable, and I wasn’t made to buy all kinds of gear… all of the gear rental was included with the price of the class. (As another post pointed out, the mask is a highly recommended purchase because it does have to fit correctly). Class dates and times were very flexible, and I think that was what finally sold me on this course, as opposed to the other shops that had one open water per month, and it was on Father’s day that month.
I particularly enjoyed Dwayne as an instructor. On the surface and in the classroom, he is fun, energetic, and inspiring. The minute you drop down to dive, it is all business and you KNOW that your are being watched out for, taught, and safe down there. He is the kind of guy that you know is teaching because he loves the sport. The assistants were fun, knowledgeable, and professional as well.
I have since gone back for my advanced and rescue diver (highly recommend) certifications… and I am now looking at completing my Divemaster and moving on to teaching open water as well someday. I found these courses to be that inspiring.
Diving isn’t for everyone, but if you’ve ever had an interest, I say give it a shot, and through this shop. I have seen quite a few stories like mine, in that a lot of first time students fall in love with diving, and end up coming back to the shop wanting to help out new divers.
Overall, this was an incredible experience and I wish I had done it sooner.

‘Kin folk’, are the words that come to mind if I were to describe Dwayne and the Dive to Survive crew. Their the kind
I called on a whim and ended up tagging along with an Open water class for two days. I had a great time, I was hovering within 15 minutes and after that I was along for the dives, warm and dry.

If you are looking for personal and flexible dive training this is your place.
Dive To Survive is not a scuba dive shop. It is a couple of guys with a little training room and a pool. They LOVE scuba diving and Dwayne is an expert. He will teach you what you need to know and he will make it fun. He won’t try to sell you gear other than the mask, which needs to fit perfectly and you will need it for the class. All the other gear is provided for you as part of the price.
If you are already certified, but it has been a few years Dive To Survive will tailor the class for you. If this is your first experience you will get the full training. No cutting corners other than the signage… the pool is behind a fish shop so it is a little hard to find at first. There is plenty of parking and all the facilities you will need.
Dwayne is also a full on scuba enthusiast. He is genuinely excited about diving and getting you in the Ocean. Five Stars all the way!
